Russian playmaker Arshavin ready to face Wales despite Wenger's fears
Russia boss Guus Hiddink is ready to risk the wrath of Arsene Wenger by pushing Arsenal midfielder Andrey Arshavin into action.
The Russian playmaker is expected to start the World Cup qualifier against Wales despite not being fully fit.
Arshavin has not played since suffering a groin strain during Arsenal's 2-1 defeat at Manchester United 11 days ago.
But Arshavin took part in a training session at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff and reported no ill-effects.
Victory is vital for the Russians if they want to overhaul leaders Germany in Group Four.
Hiddink said: 'Andrey has done everything he has had to do. At the moment, there is no big problem.
'There should be no worry. He will take a responsible decision if he cannot play. But he would like to play.
'When you are not almost fully recovered you normally get a reaction. But he hasn't had one so far.'
